IMPROVED SEWING-MACHINE TAI'3LE.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 103,472 dated May 24, 1870.

' view, and Fig. 3 a transverse section, of a sewing-machine table made in accordance with my invention, the purpose of which is to enable the top of the table, with the sewing-machine, when confined thereon, to be raised and set at any desirable angle with the horizon, in order to enable an attendant to operate with more convenience and less fatigue to herself while working the machine and sewing cloth or other material thereby.

In the drawings, A denotes the top of the table, it being pivoted at a a to the rest .or supporting sideparts, B B, of the frame. Ahar,

G, hingedto the table-top, and having a series of holes, 000, made in it, operates with a stud, 01, extended from aring, e, to hold the top at any desirable an gle with the horizon. Furthermore, there are fixed to the top the bearings ff of the driving-shaft g of the sewing-machine, such shaft being disposed beneath the table-top in manner as represented. The pivots of the said top are coincident with, or are arranged in the line of, the axis of the said shaft. The sh aft has a driving-pulley, h, about which and a driving-wheel, i, an endless band, k, travels. The wheel i is connected with a pedal, 1, by a connection-rod, m, pivoted to the two in the usual manner.

From the above it will be seen that by working the pedal the driving-wheel will be put in revolution, and will cause the band to operate the driving pulley h and its shaft, whether the table-top be horizontal or raised into any desirable inclined position. The same result.

would follow were the table-top to have its pivots arranged in coincidence with, or lino of, the axis of the driving-wheel i. j

I'claim-- 1 The sewing-machine table. as provided with a top, A, adjustable, as described, and having its pivot or pivots an arranged in coincidence with the axis of motion of either the drivingshaft g. of the sewing-machine of such table or that of the driving-wheel z, for operating such shaft by means of a band, k, and pulley h, or their equivalents, the whole being substantially as described.
